[Maps-l] First steps to my overlay

[Thomas Ineichen]

Hi there,

As  you  may  have  seen on toolserver-l, I'm new here and I'd like to
improve  OSM-data  by displaying access rights on different layers (as
I'm doing here: http://access.t-i.ch/ ).

As  far as I understand the discussion at [1], first thing would be to
apply for getting added to the OSM-Prject-Group, right?
This shall be done hereby. :)


Is  there  any  documentation  what  I have to do thereafter to get my
tiles rendered at eg. http://toolserver.org/tiles/ti/<vehicle_type> or
is more or less 'copy-paste' from existing projects?

If  so, I will try to set up a wiki-page with all your collected tipps
on  how  to use mod_tile so the next newbie doesn't have to bother you
that much. ;)
(Maybe  for some little-used keys like 'hgv' I will also try to set up
a Query-to-map..)


thanks,
Thomas (ti)
